Chapter 694 Fifty Wins Tragedy
When the Memphis Grizzlies packed their backpacks and embarked on the final road trip of the regular season, they had already taken the eighth spot in the Western Conference with a record of 49 wins and 30 losses.
That's right, the Portland Trail Blazers lost again.
Lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, No. [-] in the West.
No shame, strength is flawed, there is nothing wrong with it.
Their record is:
48 wins and 30 losses.
The Grizzlies lead by one game and are safe for the time being.
They can let go of their burdens and fight the Golden State Warriors to the death!
But the Golden State Warriors are not happy anymore!
They are currently ranked seventh in the West with 50 wins and 29 losses. If they lose this game, they will drop to eighth, and they will face the Lakers in the first round...
The Golden State Warriors most hope to meet the Mavericks in the first round, and they are very good at playing the Cowboys.
But the Mavericks have fallen out of the top half, basically missing the top three.
The Warriors can only choose one opponent among the Lakers, Spurs and Suns. For the Warriors, these three teams are not easy to mess with.
However, the Lakers are the worst to mess with!
Because, this season Kobe Bryant passed the ball...
So, no matter what, you can't lose to the Grizzlies!
Mark Jackson followed his habit early this season, finding ways to slow down the Warriors and increase their defensive intensity...
But the Warriors' team is not suitable for positional warfare at all:
Point Guard: Baron Davis
Shooting Guard: Monta Ellis
Small Forward: Stephen Jackson
Power Forward: Al Harrington
Center: Andris Biedrins
There are also Belinelli and Pietrus. These guys are strong offensively and weak defensively. It is difficult to transform with the current lineup.
After discovering that nothing could be done, he simply continued to hold high the banner of running and bombing.
After the Bobcats slowed down, the Suns slowed down, and the Mavericks slowed down, the Golden State Warriors became the most typical running and bombing team in the league, and their number of rounds always ranked first!
They're going to kill those old men of Grizzly!
This is the Memphis Grizzlies situation --
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back.
The situation was critical, Rick Carlisle also learned from D'Antoni, and started to die, and the old men basically didn't play.
Zhao Ke, Conley, Hei Bei and Oden all scored more than 40 points.
Forcibly turned the Golden State Warriors into a blacksmith shop.
Pull out your teeth to:
96:82
Forcibly defending the Golden State Warriors into the Minnesota Timberwolves, by the way, they rose one place and became seventh in the West.
Penultimate opponent:
Denver Nuggets.
It is also impossible for the Nuggets to release water. They are competing with the Utah Jazz for No.5.
The teams in the West are so tight that if they lose a game, they may drop a ranking, so neither Billups nor Nene dared to "play sick".
This is an intense game.
Under the close double-teaming of Nene, Camby, and Kenyon Martin, Oden played very hard, although he did not graduate early.
But he only scored 12 points and 13 rebounds, which is far from the usual prehistoric beast that "gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas".
Without an inside advantage and Zhao Ke had no range, the Memphis Grizzlies played very hard, falling behind and being overwhelmed.
They can only try to use oppressive defense in exchange for the initiative.
It was not until the last 1.2 seconds that Zhao Ke made a funny free throw to tie the score.
However, at the last moment, Carmelo Anthony shot a super long, buzzer, deadly, three-pointer across the audience, a one-hit lore!
A 48-minute effort by the Memphis Grizzlies was in vain.
Back to eighth in the West again.
On April 4, 16/82 of the Memphis Grizzlies regular season trip, the final battle——
Los Angeles Lakers!
This is the last regular season game day of the 2007-2008 season.
Half of the teams ended all games two days ago, and the remaining teams will also end today.
However, the Lakers have not yet secured the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference!
The San Antonio Spurs, which ended the schedule first, "temporarily rank" second in the Western Conference with a record of 56 wins and 26 losses, while the Lakers are 56 wins and 25 losses.
If they lose this game, they will have the same record as the Spurs.
And because of the disadvantage of each other's records in the regular season, they were assigned to the second place.
Therefore, the Lakers are ready to attack with all their strength!
Kill the grizzly.
Defend the number one in the West!
However, the Grizzlies did not take this too seriously.
The Portland Trail Blazers actually lost again...
Sure enough, they only beat the Rockets.
It is now 49 wins and 32 losses.
The last game is against the sun.
Even if you win, it's useless!
Facing the ferocious Lakers, Rick Carlisle easily chose to rest——
Why should this be serious!
In a few days, there will be seven good fights!
John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley and Alonzo Mourning all played more than 30 minutes in this game.
The old guys are having fun.
This may be the last regular season game of their lives.
The Lakers got the victory as they wished.
Secured the top spot.
The Suns also took turns. They couldn't catch up with the Spurs, and they weren't afraid of the Mavericks chasing them. There was absolutely no need for another victory.
The Portland Trail Blazers won the game in tears.
Then, go fishing.
In this way, the rankings of the entire West are settled:
First, the Los Angeles Lakers, 57 wins and 25 losses
Second, the San Antonio Spurs, 56 wins and 26 losses
Third, the Phoenix Suns, 54 wins and 28 losses
Fourth, Dallas Mavericks, 53 wins and 29 losses
Fifth, Denver Nuggets, 53 wins and 29 losses
Sixth, Utah Jazz, 52 wins and 30 losses
Seventh, Golden State Warriors, 51 wins and 31 losses
Eighth, Memphis Grizzlies, 50 wins and 32 losses
Because the Memphis Grizzlies met the Portland Trail Blazers four times in the regular season and won 3:1, they squeezed out the Trail Blazers with the same record.
The Portland Trail Blazers also made history, a tragedy.
They became the first team in the 62-year history of the NBA to win 50 games but still be shut out of the playoffs.
In fact, if you look at the difference in wins between the top eight in the Western Conference, the difference between the first and eighth is only seven games.
Probably the most intense playoff battle in history...
Of course, except for the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, and New Orleans Hornets, the three teams that have extravagant hopes for the playoffs, the remaining four teams are a mess.
Los Angeles Clippers, 23 wins and 59 losses.
Houston Rockets, 22 wins and 60 losses.
Minnesota Timberwolves, 21 wins and 61 losses.
Seattle SuperSonics, 20 wins and 62 losses.
The Timberwolves and the Clippers are deliberately playing badly. They both have ideas about Derrick Rose. That kid is worth a few teams to play badly. There is nothing wrong with that!
But the Supersonic has internal and external troubles, and it has no choice but to show up badly, which also affects Ekinlian's reputation.
Now, Yi Hei in China has begun to call him "Kong Qi Yi".
But Ah Lian had no time to talk to them.
He has always fought on two fronts in the regular season and the devil's training camp, and he is exhausted.
How can there be any thoughts on the Internet!
In addition, the Houston Rockets are also passive.
They didn't want to be bad at the beginning, but after Daryl Morey's shit happened, the other 29 teams in the NBA used the Rockets as BOSS.
Especially black players, when they meet the Rockets, it's like taking drugs, they look like crazy tigers!
It is really a miracle that the Rockets did not fall to No.15 in the West!
